“We don’t hit slow pitching very well,” Schmidt said. “We’ve got to be able to adjust. Alex Sitts joined us for this game and he stole a couple of bases, which was good to see.”

Schmidt said his team is looking forward to the weekend.

“It’s a tournament that if we play like we can, we can compete,” he said. “It’s a tournament where we have some hope. There’s some good teams. I know the Kansas Cannons (who are in McPherson’s pool) will be pretty good. I think we should be able to handle the other two teams.”
